On the shelf
Life has gotten busy. Incredibly busy. School is back in session, my night job never stops, the gym on the weekends, two college courses, and the possibility of dropping all three of those because someone is offering me too much money NOT to take a job as a restaurant manager.
This is good and bad. Good because the busier I am, the less time I have to "dwell" on things(and I am the dweller of all dwellers) and bad because this blog has become the neglected wife/dog/whathaveyou that I never wanted it to be.
Seriously blog, it's not you...it's me.
Anyway, updates will be sporadic at best, but I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me or the blog. If anything, treat it like Ben Affleck's character treated the departure of Matt Damon's character at the end of Good Will Hunting. You, the reader, are in the role of Ben Affleck, and I will be the mathematical delinquent genius, Will Hunting.
So, the next time you read this blog, I want you to knock a couple of times, look through the window, smirk, and then head back to your car to start your long day at the asbestos ridden construction site.
I've got to see about a girl...or Madden. ¶ 6:08 PM

I'm pouring my heart out here and you want to link me to some crummy site?
I'm glad you found it enlightening though. Weirdo.

I actually made my blog non-public (it's an option via blogger) so that it doesn't get listed with their directory. It seems to keep the spamming weirdos out.
I didn't realize you had a background in restaurant managing as well as the other things you do. That's pretty cool. It seems like the big thing that ties everything together is a strong ability to work well with lots of people. That's a pretty incredible and useful skill to have.
So, are you taking that job? And what courses are you taking? I hope everything goes well with all of these things.

I left my blog in the directory, because I like getting comments from random blogger users I've never *met* before. Spam hasn't been a problem for me...yet.
I've found that being super busy is good, at least in the short term. Steph and I have been working on the house non-stop for weeks now, and I think I'm starting to feel a little burnt out. Every weekend, and every day after work until we go to bed, is packed with little (and even not so little) chores to do for the house. I think we just need one full weekend day of doing absolutly nothing, and I'll feel a bit better.
I'm curious to know if you're taking that resturant job too.

Okay. It looks like I'm taking the restaurant job as it holds the promise of owning a couple of my own restaurants(or at least being "in" on one).
But it's not really a restaurant so much as it's a "chain"(I just found out) called Samurai Sams. My sisters husband bought the rights to the franchise for all of Long Island and anyone hoping to open one has to pay him a percentage of the profits from day 1 to day infinity.
I've been offered A LOT(for me) of money, plus incentives, and as they will work around my school schedule(finishing my education Masters), it's impossible to turn down. Nothings official yet, but it looks like it will be go time by January.
Outside of "managing" a hero shop for four years, I have no prior managerial experience. And the hero shop was just me and my friend all day long making heroes or playing baseball with a rolled up ball of tinfoil and a spoon. But technically, we were in charge and were "managers". The top of the pepsi case was a home run.

BTW, the courses are intro to computers(I'll finally be forced to learn how to do a powerpoint presentation! YAY!) and some core assessment class. They are the last two of my cores and after them, I only have 4 electives to finish my degree.
Oh, and it's a weird badge of honor I have with the whole power point thing. I've prided myself on getting by with good old fashioned index cards and homemade graphs, the same way that I used to "pride" myself on being the only one without a cellphone. It's a dumb thing to call my "own", but outside of the internet, I'm not so hot with computers.
I think the fear of finding it hard was what kept me away. Ironically, it's incredibly, dreadfully simple.

You can do the other thingy, which is not shutting down anonymous comments, but adding word verification.
